Chapter 239 Prelude
"What kind of trouble is this?" An old but slightly teasing voice came from outside the encirclement, in the direction of the gate of Xiao's house. In a blink of an eye, it was an old man in a tunic with gray hair, slowly walking towards everyone with the support of a middle-aged man. The steps are steady and powerful, with a strange smile on his face, which is in stark contrast to the whiteboard-like machine face of the middle-aged man next to him.
"Old man Chen!" Lin Kunyan said in a low voice, suddenly relieved, he didn't want to clash with these Zhongnanhai bodyguards now.
"Old Chen, you're here!" the butler hurriedly ran two steps to meet him, full of compliments and flattery.
"En!" Old Chen didn't pay too much attention to the slightly hunched butler, "It's all gone! Why are you still standing stupidly? I'm not afraid of people's jokes!"
"Yes, chief!" The Zhongnanhai bodyguard led by him gave a military salute to Chen Lao respectfully, and exhaled heavily the moment he turned around, if he faced the Dark Dragon, their pressure would be unimaginable, and now it would be best to let them leave first, for a killing god like Lin Kunkun, it was impossible to avoid.
Chen ...... Chen Lao...... This...... This ......"
"What is this? I don't have the right to take him in yet? Why don't you go and report to Xiao Jianjian? Just say that I am going to take him in, and I will be responsible for what happened!" Chen Lao said with some displeasure.
"No...... Don't dare ......"
"Hmph!" Chen Lao snorted coldly and turned his head to look at Lin Kunyan, "Little rabbit cub, you have been in the capital for a long time! You don't look at me at these times! Niang Xipi, do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young?" Listening to Chen Lao's words, the horror in the housekeeper's heart could not be expressed in words. Don't look at Chen Lao scolding the young man, but doesn't this kind of scolding tone just show that Chen Lao attaches great importance to him? This is a ridiculous laughing and scolding, what is the identity of this man, which can make Chen Lao value him so much. By the way, his name is Stygian, but what's that name? It's just a nickname, Stygian, Stygian. How come I have never heard of such a person in Sijiu City?
The butler, who was in amazement, almost collapsed to the ground when he heard the next words.
"Old man, do you want to be nosy? Are you so sure I can't get in?" Lin Kunyan glared at Chen Lao angrily, "Look at you, I'm going to see you, then I can't do what I want to do!"
Damn, who the hell is this master! Why is he so unlucky today! Looking at the state in which he speaks to Chen Lao, he is obviously a big man who he can't afford to provoke, do you want to report to the old man to relieve his sins.
Old Chen seemed to know what the housekeeper was thinking, looking at the pale face, the sweat couldn't stop dripping downward, "You go first! Tell Xiao Jianjian, the dark dragon is here!"
Chen Lao's words made the housekeeper feel like he was amnestied, and he didn't dare to say anything more, bowed slightly to the two, and immediately turned to leave. There was also a conversation between the two in my ears......
"What do you mean, old man?"
"Nothing interesting! I know what you're here for. It shouldn't mean that I know, it should mean that everyone knows. Besides, it won't matter to you if I let the Xiao family's housekeeper report it. Didn't you just want to stalemate with those bodyguards and make things bigger, Xiao Jianshe will naturally appear, and you can also go in in grandly?"
"Hmph! If you don't die, how can other people live?" Lin Kunyan said a little depressedly, the little Jiujiu in his heart made the old man in front of him look transparent.
"Hahaha! I can't die, I can't die! I go my own way so that others have no way out!Hahaha!" Old Chen looked very happy, and he only felt this way when he talked to Lin Kunyan. This guy is neither big nor small, unlike those other people who see that they are not respectful, for fear that one of them will accidentally make him angry.
"Cut...... Disrespectful to the old ......" As the butler walked away quickly, the conversation behind him gradually became inaudible......
"Sister, do you think Brother Long will come today?" Jiang Xin asked Jiang Shan, who was sitting motionless in front of the dresser, with some worry. As if he was afraid that Jiang Shan would run away secretly, before dawn, Jiang Lao took his wife and Jiang Xin, and brought Jiang Shan to Xiao's house as if he were escorting a prisoner. Jiang Shan was in a very calm state all the way, but the more this happened, the more Jiang Xin worried about her sister. Until now, Jiang Shan is still sitting in front of the dresser in a daze, neither changing into a wedding dress nor applying grease and powder to her haggard face.
"Hehehe! Brother Long will definitely come! He cares about you so much!" Jiang Xin felt that her sister Jiang Shan might have been worried because she hadn't received the news that Lin Kunyan was coming, so she could only try her best to comfort her sister. At the same time, he blamed Lin Kunyan angrily: This brother Long is really, there has been no news at all in the past two days, I don't know that we are all worried!
"Xin'er, do you think the dragon will really kill for me?" Jiang Shan's eyes were very red and swollen, and it was not difficult to see that her sleep quality was very poor in the past two days. From what she said now, the astute Jiang Xin knew why her sister's state was like this.
Looking at Jiang Shan's delicate and glamorous pathology, Jiang Xin was envious and sad, "Sister, don't listen to grandpa's nonsense, he just doesn't want you to be with Brother Long! Those are just their speculations, and there is no evidence, why should we believe it?"
"But...... But ......"
"It's nothing good, but Brother Long has not killed anyone, and when he saved us, he could be said to be standing in front of us with his hands on his hands. I remember you screaming in fear!"
"Yes! At that time, the dragon had just finished fighting, and the blood of the enemy was dripping all over his body, which was really scary, but it was really powerful!" Jiang Shan may have thought of the emotion, and a flushed color floated on her face, reflecting the delicate face that was originally as beautiful as a flower, which was even more moving.
"Brother Long is that kind of person, he dares to kill people in front of us, how can he hide it from us to the detriment of Lei Hanzhu. If Brother Yilong's character really killed Lei Hanzhu, there was no need for him to secretly kill people. Jiang Xin was analyzing the Tao, but in fact, she knew very well in her heart that what she was analyzing had no basis and reason. To put it mildly, it is pure nonsense. But now Jiang Shan's mood is very unstable, even if she knows that Jiang Xin's reasoning is full of loopholes, she still believes it, and tries to make herself believe in it.
Sure enough, this method of self-hypnosis is extremely effective. Soon, Jiang Shan lifted her spirits. People are in good spirits on happy occasions, this may not be appropriate to describe the current Jiang Shan, but the reason is the same, Jiang Shan, who mentions the spirit, looks radiant, as if she is much more beautiful than before. Looking at her sister's current appearance, Jiang Xin laughed from the inside, but what she didn't see was the doubt and sadness in the depths of Jiang Shan's pupils.
"Master, master!" The housekeeper of the Xiao family hurriedly ran into the back house from outside the courtyard in three steps and two steps, which was where the Xiao family lived every day. While running, he was still shouting, and he didn't care about his image at all.
Xiao Jianjian, who was sitting in the inner hall, couldn't help frowning, and his square face showed a hint of displeasure, but just his typical Bao Gong face. If it looks like an outsider who is not familiar with it, it is the same as whether Gao is unhappy. Looking at the housekeeper who ran in in a panic, Xiao Jianjian's black face was about to turn purple.
"Why are you so flustered? Don't you want you to receive guests first?" Xiao Jianjian's voice was very stern, in his eyes, this housekeeper represented the face of the Xiao family today, but such a lack of image was not destroying the reputation of the Xiao family?
"No, someone was about to break in, and I stopped him!" The housekeeper was relieved, the shock just now, coupled with the usually pampered, somewhat fat body had an urge to fall apart after the rush just now.
"Stop it, stop it! What's all the fuss! Is it worth your excitement?"
"No, master! I stopped him, but he was taken to the hall by the old man of the Chen family!"
"Old Man Chen brought it in?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Do you know what that man's name is?"
"I don't know, but I think someone called him the Dark Dragon just now!" said the butler, a little uncertain.
"What!Dark Dragon?" Although Xiao Jianshe was mentally prepared for Lin Kunkun's arrival, it was really not until Lin Kunkun came now that he found that he still had a feeling that was a little unbearable, and this feeling was terrible. jumped up from the Taishi chair in the middle of the small hall in the inner hall, like a cat with its tail stepped on, "I didn't expect him to really come! Yi'er is playing with fire!" Xiao Jianjian, who had calmed down, slowly sat back on the Taishi chair.
"You'd better go out and greet the guests first! We'll settle this matter!" Xiao Jianshe commanded the housekeeper.
"Yes!"
Before the housekeeper's body stepped out of the door of the hall, he was almost knocked down by Xiao Yi, who broke in like the wind. "I heard that the dark dragon is coming?" After coming in, he didn't look at the housekeeper, and his worried eyes fell on Xiao Jianjian.
"You go first!" Xiao Jianshe commanded again. "Yes! I almost fought, it was Chen Lao's face, and he was calm!"
"What do you think about this marriage with Jiang Shan? I know that your usual state of life does not mean that your IQ is limited to looking for flowers and asking willows!" Xiao Jianshe seems to have a great rejection of this marriage, but because Jiang Lao made it with his father, as a junior, there is no reason to refuse. Besides, Jiang Shan is indeed a very good girl, and it would not be a good thing if she could live a good life with Xiao Yi. But he knew in his heart that Jiang Shan didn't like his son, and even rejected him extremely much.
"Father thinks I have a choice?" Xiao Yi's eyes still had the fear of the dark dragon, the shadow of the famous tree of people. If I hadn't seen Lin Kunkun before, I would have done it, but I had also been in contact with him that day, and I had seen his vigorous and resolute style. He had no doubt that Lin Kunkun would not care about the identity of the person present today, and he couldn't say that if things continued to develop according to this situation, he would be doomed to suffer.
"Why is there no choice?"
"First, this is what the ancestor decides!Second, does my father think it's just a marriage?"
"Hmph, they are trying to put our Xiao family in a desperate situation! How can we get involved in this kind of thing, I'll talk about your grandfather!" Xiao Jianshe was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Yi.
"Father, it's useless! Things have gotten to such a point that the conspirators won't let you stop so easily, and even grandpa won't agree to it. The big names in Sijiu City are basically sitting on the banquet of our Xiao family now, if they regret their marriage at this time, where will grandpa's face go?"
"Alas!" Xiao Jianshe sighed and slowly sat down again, "Actually, outsiders don't know that you are the pillar of our Xiao family." Your grandfather is already old, and he can't take care of the Xiao family for long, and I know what kind of person I am. ”
The two were silent for a while, and Xiao Yi knew in his heart that his father had always been very lost, even if he was in an important position, but he had always been unsatisfactory in the officialdom of Huaxia. This is not to say that the father is incompetent, but the father's personality is determined, and the political future of a person who is too upright is destined to be bleak. And Xiao Jianjian's achievements today are nothing more than the influence of the old man of the Xiao family, once the old man of the Xiao family drives the crane to the west, the Xiao family will definitely collapse.
Maybe it's because of this that Old Man Xiao wants to gamble on this matter!
"Forget it! Now that things have come to this point, you can be your groom official with peace of mind! No matter what, I won't let you be hurt!" Xiao Jianshe said helplessly. Maybe other people think that even if the Dark Dragon wants to make a scene, but the Xiao family has so many important people to support it today, the Dark Dragon will also return in vain, Xiao Yi and Jiang Shan are certain. But only Xiao Jianjian, who is also from the military, knows that the dark dragon will not simply give in, today's matter is not good, his family has provoked a strong enemy, and the influence of the dark dragon is beyond their imagination.
"Actually, there is no need to worry too much about my father, our Xiao family and the Dark Dragon can't become enemies!" Xiao Yi seemed to know what Xiao Jianjian was thinking, "After all, Qing'er has a great influence on the Dark Dragon!"
"I hope so......"
